write_redcap_xlsx function

Write Supertibbles to XLSX

Transform a supertibble into an XLSX file, with each REDCap data tibble in a separate sheet.

write_redcap_xlsx(
  supertbl,
  file,
  add_labelled_column_headers = NULL,
  use_labels_for_sheet_names = TRUE,
  include_toc_sheet = TRUE,
  include_metadata_sheet = TRUE,
  table_style = "tableStyleLight8",
  column_width = "auto",
  recode_logical = TRUE,
  na_replace = "",
  overwrite = FALSE
)

Arguments

• supertbl: A supertibble generated using read_redcap().

• file: The name of the file to which the output will be written.

• add_labelled_column_headers: If TRUE, the first row of each sheet will contain variable labels, with variable names in the second row. If FALSE, variable names will be in the first row. The default value, NULL, tries to determine if supertbl contains variable labels and, if present, includes them in the first row. The labelled package must be installed if add_labelled_column_headers is TRUE.

• use_labels_for_sheet_names: If FALSE, sheet names will come from the REDCap instrument names. If TRUE, sheet names will come from instrument labels. The default is TRUE.

• include_toc_sheet: If TRUE, the first sheet in the XLSX output will be a table of contents, providing information about each data tibble in the workbook. The default is TRUE.

• include_metadata_sheet: If TRUE, the final sheet in the XLSX output will contain metadata about each variable, combining the content of supertbl$redcap_metadata. The default is TRUE.

• table_style: Any Excel table style name or "none". For more details, see the "formatting" vignette

  of the openxlsx package. The default is "tableStyleLight8".

• column_width: Sets the width of columns throughout the workbook. The default is "auto", but you can specify a numeric value.

• recode_logical: If TRUE, fields with "yesno" field type are recoded to "yes"/"no" and fields with a "checkbox" field type are recoded to "Checked"/"Unchecked". The default is TRUE.

• na_replace: The value used to replace NA values in supertbl. The default is "".

• overwrite: If FALSE, will not overwrite file when it exists. The default is FALSE.

Returns

An openxlsx2 workbook object, invisibly
